Stoke Poker Live 2007 Update

Well Stoke Poker Live 2007 has been and gone, and it was a storming success!

Over 73 players took their seats in the WassOnline.com Stoke live poker event this weekend, for two nights of great poker action!

The first event kicked off at 8PM on Saturday night, and took the form of a Texas Hold’em £20 freeze out with a £10 bounty on every players head. This made for a more aggressive game, and some great action!

Congratulations to all the finalists – the results were as follows:Friday night (Bounty Event) 1st - Trixie2nd - Bubblesx23rd - Macturbo4th - Dangermouse4205th - Andy19646th - Novice497th - Cockneyken8th - Holtender9th - Pastieman10th – Nipnip

I was busted out fairly early by Leafy when my A K failed to hold up against Ace 10. Thus ended my night of poker, but luckily enough I was in a casino so had lots of other things to waste time on!

The next day started earlier, with the games kicking off at about 6PM. This was the main event of the weekend, a £20 freeze out. Whilst again, I busted out quite early, the game itself was very good, with some exceptional poker being played on the final table!

The top 10 from the Saturday night are as follows:

Also, a big congratulation to Pastieman for winning the ‘Poker Player of the Weekend’ award with his two final table appearances! He just beat Andy1964 to this prize…even though Andy did have the pleasure of knocking out Jayc1985 one of WassOnline.com most feared poker players!Special mention goes to DannyKeano and Chickster for getting the ‘Spirit of Wass’ award – I don’t think that there was a single person that either of them didn’t speak too…even if it was just to ask if they would hold their pints…just for a minuteThanks to all of the dealers over the two nights to – it’s not easy to look after a table full of Wassers as well as play a game of poker, and all of our dealers did a great job of it – many thanks!I am still working on the front-end of the site, so look out for more updates and stories to come!Personally, I think that this weekend was the best poker event we have ever had on Wass, and I really can’t wait for the next event!
